Fascist America, in 10 easy steps

Hawkeye | 24-04-2007 23:29 | Analysis | Repression | Terror War | Sheffield | World

It's not fascism when we do it...
On the internet people have been pointing out that the USA (and the UK not that far behind) is sliding into fascism, but this isn't something that the mainstream media will touch, after all they are a part of the problem. The following article by Naomi Wolf, published in the Guardian today is an exception to this and although reposts from the mainstream are rightly frowned upon here this article does deserve being an exception to the rule.

It is interesting to contrast the following article with the view of the USA that some on the UK left have, for example Mark Osbourn of the AWL considers that John Pilger has a "pathological hatred of the western powers which leads to the repeated and idiotic allusion that the US/UK leaders bear a similarity to Nazis":  http://www.workersliberty.org/node/8239 The article by John Pilger that Mark Osbourn is refering to can be read here:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/02/361472.html
